The question is, are we still concerned about workplace safety? Or have businesses become safer working environments?

Safety Service Direct's own sales data can support this, with a decline in the last year of safety advisory services, whilst training courses have seen an increase in sales, Manual Handling training alone has seen a 400% increase.

This suggests that businesses are now taking responsibility for their own safety and putting their workers first - therefore expecting loss of earnings figures to decline in the coming years.

"It's vital that businesses take responsibility for the safety of their workforce and whilst it's promising to see statistics improving, there's still work to be done to reduce not only loss of earnings, but loss of revenue to the business".
